I am sickened beyond belief. The half-orc wizard is obviously the best possible PC, and I only had to read 10 pages of the book to figure it out. D&D is dead to me! -- Mike Mearls
FWIW, I'm on the design team and I pretty much find WoW as fun and interesting as banging my head against a brick wall. -- Mike Mearls
you happen to say that 4E reminds you of the reasons you decided against a career as a special-Ed teacher--noted rpg author Darrin Drader

What is this sacrilege? The D series redux is set in the Forgotten Realms! Why was I not notified that Geoff had been transplanted from Greyhawk to Faerun.

Seriously, I never even looked at City of the Spider Queen because it was a Realms supplement. I guess I'll have to check it out and see if I can convert it back to it's rightful game setting.

also see if you can find the web enhancement on the WotC board and the Dungeon Magazine version of one of the side treks involving mind flayers.

I am not sure I can agree with you on this diaglo.

While I agree that the overlaying theme to both adventures is fight against Drow, I would not say City of the Spider Queen (CotSQ by James Wyatt) is a "remake" of D1-3 and Q1 (Gary Gygax, David Sutherland, Dave Cook and Jeff Grubb).

The encounters/maps all differ. CotSQ has a 'sub' plot which somewhat follows the "War of the Spider Queen" novels (R.A. Salvatore).

(Note: I agree there are many similarities: the Undying Temple on the ethereal plane (CotSQ) and Lolth's Spider ship on the Abyss (Q1) seem to have the same 'theme' but all encounters/maps differ).

Again, if anyone knows of a conversion for the D/Q series, I would love to hear from you.

the spiral of mazenwhatever by dave noonan in Dungeon 94 is basically the same idea of a sidetrek with Mind Flayers. D..

the first encounter with the vampire is the sidetrek with the vampire.

the kuotoa and the kraken in the lake with the stone giants.... is D2

the houses in turmoil is the estate section of D3.

the demons picked for use in the burned out city are the nyco and mezzodaemon versions of today.

this is a very thinly veiled remake of the original.

edit: even the outpost of szith morcane early on is D1.
